Oh I don't not think what he's doing isn't cool. But I think the playing field gets a lil distorted when you bring in man made body parts. They have the most rigorous drug testing for the olympics to keep it on a level playing field. Just the people and the sport. I think you could call that an enhancement, too. Advantage, don't know. Modification for the sport, yes. I just think the field they are playing on should be level for all. Not taking at all away from he has done, I can't do it. But I think you should be on the same level as the other athletes. Not saying his level is better OR worse. Just saying he's competing with an enhancement that they don't allow in other ways.

I have to say that I am split by this whole thing. I've followed the story of Pistorius for a few years now and happen to think that his attitude and determination are amazing - a brilliant role-model (although not necessarily any better than those soldiers you see who have lost limbs to IEDs and still go climbing mountains and rowing across the Atlantic.

My problem is that, despite all the science and knowledge we have available to us, nobody has yet been able to quantify the benefit he gets from those 'limbs'. If somebody could do this and state, with full prove, that he is gaining zero advantage over what he would have had with his natural lower-legs then it would be a different matter, but without that it is very difficult to accept as a level playing field.

What happens if he does manage to win a medal - and then 10 or 20 years down the line somebody proves that he was gaining an unfair advantage by use of those 'limbs'? What does that do to the Olympic message? And would he then be labelled a cheat for all time, even though that was never his intention?
[Off-topic] boborone:
Yeah that's kinda my view. I think it's awesome what he's done. But with him competing, I think it skews the field. Not saying it is fair or unfair on either side. Just saying it isn't level anymore. Not a level playing field with all participants competing with the same tools. Raw talent.

On another note, if they added a lil more bounce to those legs, and he beat Bolt and other records, would they still let him do it? I bet not, just saying.....:confused:

Not, you alwAys do the math in the parentheses first (9+3)=12 so you can then take care of the division and or multiplication by the # out side the brackets, parenthesis, etc. Multiply with the resulting product giving you 24. 48/24=2. That's the only way no matter where you're from and not open to interpretation but often interpreted wrong. Do it out of order and you end up with 288 and buildings that fall in 30 mph wind loads. I work with transposing formulas every day, inside parenthesis is always first. 5*(1/(2*.001))+20 = 2520 not .0125 if done the wrong way.

Your calculator doesn't do the formula as is unless it specifically states the it can do write view or algebraic formulas. My calculator come out with 2 as the answer with the formula entered exactly as is (Sharp EL-W516x with write view, 4 lines of display) You are entering it wrong, you have to do the math inside the () 9+3=12 no matter what, 2x12=24 no matter what, 48/24=2 no matter what. Just because you're not telling your calc the proper order of doing the calcs doesn't make your wrong answer right.

But hey, I only work with numbers way more complex than that every day and maintain a 3.98 GPA in college for electronics engineering tech with digital comm and avionics as majors so what the hell could I know.

Your absolutely correct in your math. I hope to do business with you someday, I feel it could be advantageous for me. :good:

I can enter the entire equation before solving it........
[Off-topic] Dblfstr:
n00bs, The answer is 2.

Operations in brackets (parentheses) are performed first. 2(9+3) which is 24.

Consider x = (9+3)

So, 48 / 2x = is our equation.

reduce to 24/x where x = (9+3)

24/(9+3) = 24/12 = 2

Again consider 48 / 2(x+y) where x = 9 and y = 3

48 / 2x + 2y

24/ x + y

24 / 9 + 3

24/12 = 2

You must consider that 2(9+3) is all part of the denominator. The parenthesis includes the multiplication by 2, you only simplify within the parenthesis because the variables are known.

It all depends on how you view the division symbol as to what is being divided.

For some people it is

48

--- x (9+3) = 288

2

And others it is

48

------------ = 2

2(9+3)

So ideally to mean the latter it should be expressed as 48/(2(9+3)) but those of us who use formula "know" what we mean when we use / which is generally "over everything that follows" so we would write the latter as 48/2(9+3) and the former as (48/2)(9+3) to avoid confusion.
